Pixel YouTube Clone

This project is a YouTube clone built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. You can set it up locally using XAMPP. Ensure you download ffmpeg as it is required to get the duration and thumbnails of the videos. Make sure to update the path for ffmpeg wherever required.

Setup Instructions

  1. Install XAMPP on your local machine.
  2. Download ffmpeg and ensure it is accessible in your system's PATH.
  3. Create a folder named videos in the root directory of the project.
  4. Inside the videos folder, create another folder named thumbnails.
  5. Clone or download the project files into your XAMPP's htdocs directory.
  6. Start the Apache and MySQL servers using XAMPP Control Panel.
  7. Import the provided MySQL database into your local MySQL server.
  8. Update the database configuration in the PHP files (db.php, video.php, etc.) with your MySQL credentials.
  9. You may need to configure the .htaccess file to enable clean URLs (if applicable).
  10. Access the website in your browser to view the YouTube clone.
